The reviewer began with a rundown of hardware design features and
system specifications. Specifically, he called out the two Xeon E5540
"Gainestown" CPUs with four physical cores each.

"With a Hyperthreading-aware OS,
though, it presents itself as capable
of handling 16 threads, resulting in a task manager likely to create a
bit of envy," he noted. Craig also highlighted the vast
configuration,
OS and service options available for the server.

Overall, Craig was quite pleased with the X4275. His verdict: "Sun
Microsystem's Sun Fire X4275 is an excellent
all-rounder that can be
custom-specced to suit most small-to-medium-business needs. Whether you
need to apply yourself with some dense storage or just need the compute
power of 16 cores, its
flexibility is commendable."
